Suspicious Explosive Device Discovered on Dredger 'Freeway' Off Boulogne-sur-Mer
On May 25, 2015, at approximately 12:30 PM, an unsettling find was made aboard the dredger 'Freeway' while it was operating in the waters near Boulogne-sur-Mer. The presence of a suspicious device prompted immediate action from the CROSS Gris Nez, which swiftly notified the maritime operations center (COM) of the maritime Prefecture of the English Channel and North Sea situated in Cherbourg. Responding to the urgency of the situation, the Cherbourg COM enlisted the expertise of the Group for Analysis of Clearance (GPD) and the North Sea Divers. A decision was made to deploy a specialized technical team aboard the minesweeper 'Sagittaire' to investigate the device further. By around 5 PM, the alarming device was successfully identified as outdated ammunition, still possessing explosives with a potency equivalent to ten kilograms of TNT. The crew of the 'Sagittaire' safely recovered the hazardous item. Following the resolution of the incident, the 'Freeway' was cleared to return to its home port of Boulogne-sur-Mer.
